Blackout, intense headache, sudden weakness and sleepiness, vomiting, muscular contractions, beating temples.

If you feel one of the above mentioned symptoms, go out and breathe fresh air. If you notice a noise or modification of the exhaust system, immediately stop the engine and call your service centre for checking and repair.

Refrigerant :

The refrigerant contained in this refrigeration unit can cause frostbite, severe burns or blindness in case of projection and direct contact with the skin or eyes.

In contact with flame or heat, refrigerant generates toxic gas: keep any flame, any lighted object or any source of sparks away from the refrigerant unit.

Always use Personal Protective Equipment when handling refrigerant: safety clothes, safety gloves and safety glasses.

Refrigerant handling must be done by qualified people.

FIRST AID

General advice: Never get a unconscious person swallow nothing.

Inhalation: Put the victim in the open air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary. Do not administrate adrenalin or similar medicine.

Contact with eyes: very well rinse abundantly with water during at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

Contact with skin: wash immediately abundantly with water.

Remove immediately every soiled or splashed clothing

Refrigerant Use & Handling

Combustibility - Certain HFC & HCFC refrigerants can become combustible when mixed with high concentrations of air at elevated pressures. This not only includes R-22, but also many other HFC & HCFC refrigerants. For example, this is also true of R-134a.

Therefore, these refrigerants should not be mixed with air under pressure for leak testing or other purposes.

Inhalation Hazards - All refrigerants are hazardous if inhaled in concentrations exceeding the recommended safe limits. The symptoms include: headaches, nausea, sleepiness, lethargy, dizziness and loss of coordination. It can result in irregular heartbeat, unconsciousness and even death. The proper remedies should be taken to eliminate or reduce the exposures.

Flame Enhancement - If you see a change in the color or size of the torch flame while welding or soldering in the presence of refrigerant vapors, stop work immediately and ventilate the area. This flame effect only occurs at dangerously high concentrations of refrigerant vapors. This could create the inhalation hazards noted above.

Skin & Eye Protection - Contact with “liquid” refrigerants can result in immediate freezing of the tissues, and permanent damage or blindness can result. DO NOT handle liquid refrigerants without proper personal protective equipment. DO NOT cut into any refrigerant lines under pressure. DO NOT open valves or vent equipment where you may be sprayed with liquid refrigerant.

Cooling oil :

- avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.

- wash carefully after handling.

Burning with hot and cold :

When this refrigeration unit is running or even after, different components can be very cold or hot (exhaust pipe, tubes, coils, receiver, accumulator or engine for example)

Beware when operating closed from cold or hot components.

Always use adequate safety gloves when doing any maintenance on this refrigeration unit.

Cuttings :

Beware when handling or operating closed from parts that could be sharp (coils, evaporators, clamps for example).

Always use adequate safety gloves when doing any maintenance on this refrigeration unit.

Battery :

This refrigeration unit may be equipped with a lead-acid type battery. When charging the battery normally vents small amounts of flammable and explosive hydrogen gas.

Projections of acids on the skin or eyes can cause severe burns.

Keep any flame, any lighted object or any source of sparks away from the battery elements.

Always use Personal Protective Equipment when handling and charging battery: safety clothes, safety gloves and safety glasses.

Respect polarity when connecting a battery.

CAUTION

Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to repair the Logic or Display Boards. Should a problem develop with these components, contact your nearest Carrier Transicold dealer for replacement.

Under no circumstances should a technician electrically

probe the processor at any point, other than the connector terminals where the harness attaches. Microprocessor components operate at different voltage levels and at extremely low current levels. Improper use of voltmeters, jumper wires, continuity testers, etc. could permanently damage the processor.

Most electronic components are susceptible to damage caused by electrical static discharge (ESD). In certain cases, the human body can have enough static electricity to cause resultant damage to the components by touch. This is especially true of the integrated circuits found on the truck/trailer microprocessor.

Environment :

Think about protection of environment during all the life of this refrigeration unit.

To prevent environmental damages NEVER release refrigerant in the atmosphere, NEVER throw coolant, oil, battery and chemicals in the nature. It must be recuperate and recycle according to current regulations.

When disposing this refrigerant unit do it in an environmentally sound way and in accordance with current regulations.

2.1. Warning stickers maintenance

a. Keep the warning pictograms clean and without any obstruction material.

b. Clean the pictograms with water and soap and wipe them with soft fabric.

c. Replace damaged or missing pictograms with new pictograms available in Carrier network.

d. If a component having a pictogram is replaced by a new one, be sure that the new component has the right pictogram.

e. Place a warning pictogram by applying it on a dry surface. Press to external sides to eliminate air bubbles.

3. PRODUCT LOADING

Proper air circulation in the insulated box, air that can move around and through the load, is a critical element in maintaining product quality during transport. If air cannot circulate completely around the load: hot spots or top-freeze can occur. The use of pallets is highly recommended. Pallets, when loaded so air can flow freely through the pallets to return to the evaporator, help protect the product from heat passing through the floor of the truck. When using pallets, it is important to refrain from stacking extra boxes on the floor at the rear of the truck, because this will cut off the airflow. Product stacking is another important factor in protecting the product. Products that generate heat, fruits and vegetables for example, should be stacked so the air can flow through the product to remove the heat; this is called "air stacking" the product. Products that do not create heat, meats and frozen products, should be stacked tightly in the centre of the box. All products should be kept away from the sidewalls of the body, allowing air to flow between the body and the load; this prevents heat filtering through the walls from affecting the product.

62-61773-03 7

It is important to check the temperature of the product being loaded to ensure that it is at the correct temperature for transport. The refrigeration unit is designed to maintain the temperature of the product at the temperature at which it was loaded; it was not designed to cool a warm product.

SOME ADVICE Before loading

Pre-cool the inside of the insulated body by lowering the temperature for about 15 minutes.

Evacuate the humidity existing inside the box by carrying out a manual defrost. This can only take place when enabled by the defrost thermostat (box temperature lower than 3°C during pull down and 8°C during heating).

Evaporator fans are protected by safety grills. In the event of heavy duty use of the unit, ice can accumulate on the grills. It is therefore recommended to clean them regularly by means of a small brush. The operation MUST be done when the unit has been SHUT DOWN.

When loading

To be carried out with the unit stopped.

It is recommended to open doors as little as possible to avoid the intake of hot air and humidity.

Select the temperature by means of the thermostat, according to the transported goods.

Check the internal temperature of the goods being loaded (using a probe thermometer).

Take care not to obstruct the air intakes on the evaporator section and the ventilation ducts.

Load spacers Load on pallets

Leave a free space of about : - 6 to 8 cm between load and front wall, - 20 cm between the top of the load and the roof, - between the floor and the load (gratings, pallets).

Do not forget to close the doors.

Before closing the doors, check your load once more and see that nobody is shut inside the box.

IMPORTANT Never leave your unit more than a month

without running.

4. RECOMMENDED TRANSPORT TEMPERATURES

Below are some general recommendations on product transport temperatures and operating modes for the unit. These are included for reference only and should not be considered pre-emptive of the set-point required by the shipper or receiver.

When the temperature(s) selected with the thermostat(s) has been reached, the system shuts the unit down.

Unit shut-downs can be programmed. Shut-down times will be modified depending on the isothermal insulation of the box, the ambient temperature and the cargo. The shut-down time is pre-programmed in the plant.

The user should determine whether this setting is appropriate for his type of cargo and the insulation of the bodywork (all adjustments are to be made by a Carrier Transicold technician).

CAUTION

During unit shut-downs, the evaporator fans also stop. Only use this operating mode for products which tolerate shut-downs of this kind.

devices which ensure it operates correctly. These check: - the battery status - the temperature of the engine water - the minimum run time

Automatic start/stop is provided to permit starting/restarting of the compressor as required. This gives the microprocessor automatic control of starting and stopping the unit. The main function of automatic start-stop is to turn off the refrigeration system near the set point to provide an energy efficient temperature control system and then restart the unit when needed. Start-stop operation is normally used for frozen loads only.

If pressing the START/STOP CONTINUOUS key seems to have no effect, this key may be locked out. START-STOP and CONTINUOUS operation may be tied to the set point ranges for frozen and perishable loads.

If the unit fails to start, shuts down on a safety, or fails to run for the minimum run time, three consecutive times, the "Auto-Start/Failure" is activated.

The microprocessor controller monitors box temperatures, battery voltage and current, and engine coolant temperature. Once set points are reached the controller will shut off the diesel engine to conserve fuel. The controller will not shut off the engine if the battery voltage is not sufficient to restart it.

Safety conditions to restart the unit if the box temperature is:

-more than +6)C (+11°F) (programmable) over set point, -the battery voltage drops below 12.2 VDC, or if -the engine coolant temperature drops below +0°C. 8.9. Continuous run operation

1. Press the START/STOP CONTINUOUS key ( ) until the CONTINUOUS RUN Light (2.) on the controller illuminates.

2. Verify that "CONTINUOUS RUN MODE SELECTED" is displayed on the message centre and that the CONTINUOUS RUN Light is illuminated. The unit is now in Continuous Run operation.

Remarks:

- In the continuous run mode, the diesel engine will not shut down except for safeties or if the engine stalls. Continuous Run operation is normally used for perishable loads.

!

TIP You may press and hold the UP or DOWN arrowkey to change the set point. The longer the key isheld, the faster the setting will change.

(Date: March 1974)

Approval of vehicles intended for the carriage of perishable goods.

Before putting a refrigerated vehicle into service, it is necessary to have it approved by the Regional Health Department.

Characteristics of vehicles used for carrying perishable goods; refrigeration unit.

The refrigeration unit is an insulated unit with a cooling system which makes it possible, with a mean outside temperature of +30°C, to lower the temperature inside the empty body and to maintain this low temperature in the following way:

class A : Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a temperature between +12°C and 0°C inclusive can be chosen.

class B : Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a temperature between +12°C and –10°C inclusive can be chosen. class C : Refrigeration unit furnished with a cooling system whereby a temperature between +12°C and –20°C inclusive can be chosen.

The cooling capacity of a unit is determined by a test carried out in one of the approved testing stations and ratified by an official report.

Note: The "K" factor of bodies intended to be classified as C must be equal to or lower than 0.4 W/m2 °C.

Signs, identification marks and plates to be attached to refrigeration units

Refrigeration Plate

This reference must be followed by identification marks according to the following list: Standard refrigeration unit Class A FNA Reinforced refrigeration unit Class A FRA Reinforced refrigeration unit Class B FRB Reinforced refrigeration unit Class C FRC

In addition to the above identification marks, the date (month and year) of expiry of the approval certificate must be indicated.

Example: FRC 6-2012

(6 = month (June) 2012 = year)

Very important Regularly check the expiry date of the approval certificate. During transport, the approval certificate or provisional certificate should be shown on request of qualified agents. To have an insulated unit approved as a refrigeration unit, an application to modify the approval certificate should be sent to the regional health office. 11. 24H ASSISTANCE
